A Good Outlook.
IDanYille Register.l

There is every indication that the
dull season which struck the tobacco
belt two years ago is fast coming to
an end and that in less than another
year, we shall have healthy reaction
in business. 1t is very well to have a
season of depression every now and
then, for it teaches valuable lessons of
economy Planters and dealers in the
tobacco belt have had profitable ex-
perience and will know better how to
act in the future. We are frank to say
that we wish the lessons could have
been learned at less cost and with
out having to pass through such an
ordeal, but there is no teacher like ex-
perience, and people are not apt to
forget lessons learned in this school.
One valuable lesson learned is that
it will not do to "put all your eggs
into one basket" Farmers have learn
ed that they must diversity their crops,
and people in town have learned that
they can't depend on one industry to
make prosperous city. The new
departure is made in town and in the
country, and We confidently believe
that within the next few years this part
Of the country will be on surer foun-
dation for business than it has ever
known, provided the people continue
to diversity their crops and their in
dustries.

Rich Words by Rev. Or. Smith, Of
Greensboro.

"You can recognize and trace the
course of any stream of water by the
rich verdure, the waving shrubbery
and blooming flowers that spring up
and flourish along its banks. You
can trace tit may be for miles
until you come to some bright and
laughing spring, which is the mother
and source of all this life and. beauty.
And such is the Bible What words
can describe the flowers and~fruit that
spring along its path! But Of all its
earthly benefits and blessings, its in
huence upon women and upon our
homes is the most marked and beauti-
full. Yes, the precious and holy names
of sister, daughter, wife, mother and
home-through the influence of the
Bible and the Christian civilization il
alone and always produces-are five
words of humanity which above the
language that our angels use, speak to
us mortals of happiness and love.
They lie on the heart like the dew
drops on the rose, sweetening it. The
index and measure Of our real civiliza-
ton is the character ofour women and
our homes"

A NAMELESS CASE.

DON'T LOSE HEART.

When times are hard and the income small,
And no longer the feast is spread,
And round about yOu the shadows fail,
That mark how the day is sped,
When out OF your grasp slips many joy,
And sweetest dreams depart,
And You lose your hold on treasures un-
told,
Oh, don't lose heart.
Though troubles come like demon crew,
Your little craft to o'erwhelm,
Though worn and spent with the daily
strife,
Let faith stand firm at the helm:
And though dark the sky and cold the
breeze,
Still bravely perform your part,
For You'll stem the tide and in safety ride,
If you don't lose heart.
The loss of fortune and loss of friends.
'Tis every ones lot to bear,
And loss of health may its burden add
To the weight of sorrow and care
But though you fall from your height. and
lose
Your place in the busy mart,
There's chance for You to strike out anew
Ii you don't lose heart.
The adverse winds and the troubled waves
Our courage and strength will test,
And out of the bitter herbs of grief
Are the healing juices pressed;
And Joy Will come to our hearth, and bid
All Sorrowful guests depart,
rs sure the light succeeds the night
Then why lose heart?
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1887-07-07

They realize that this is their last hope
and are rapidly conforming to the
"powers that be-" and now they claim
that not one lives with more than one
wife-tho' many confess they have
half a dozen. Of course this can have
nothing but the most degrading effect
on the women, yet Brigham Young
and his Successors have so hedged it
about with plausible theories that
woman is the strongest Mormon ele
ment in the city Ttey are allowed
to vote just like the men, and woman
alone has the power to apply for di
vorce, and whatever may have been
her course the husband must support
her and her offspring with 4 proper
tionate share of his means as long a
they live. They believe in the same
God, the same Christ and the same
Holy Ghost we do. In addition to
our Bible they have the Book of
Mormon. Their articles Of faith are
somewhat peculiar III some respects; as
an example, number 0 reads as fol-
lows: "We believe in the literal gath
ering of Isreal, and in the restoration
of the Ten Tribes. That Zion will
be built on this continent. That Christ
will reign personally upon the earth,
and that the earth will be re-
newed and receive its paradisia
cal glory They also believe in
Prophets and base their belief upon the
ground that God is an unchanging
God and that if he taught by Prophets
in former age He will do SO in this
age. They are peculiarly sober and
industrious. They settle all disputes
by arbitration, and in many respects
they approach much nearer the stand
ard Christ set up than many of the
so-called Christians do.
At some future time, if you wish, l
will endeavor to give you an idea of
their private and social life to show
how completely the women of this
deluded sect are under the power of
their church. A. !. H.

Nolapik is an artificial language
designed particularly for the purpose
Of international correspondence. IL
is attracting wide attention at the
present time among business men a'
well as with teachers and professors.
y large number of volapuk clubs
have been formed in various Euro
pean cities. In Holland alone, the
language is taught in seventy
schools. In the old world number
of papers have been established de-
voted particularly to the promotion
of volapiik. "1he Office a New

Quoted that, with the aid of die
tionary, one may learn the language
without other instruction. ltspeaks
volumes for the language that it is
first championed by a business mems
periodical. 1t will be an immense
gain to commerce if one simple, reg
ular, casily-lcarned language shall
serve TO put business house in com
munication with every capital city
in the world instead of the half-doz-
en- difficult languages now demanded
for the foreign corresponding clerk.
No other attempt at forming a uni
versal language has passed beyond
the experimental stage; but volapuk
has now become SO widely diffuscd
that it can no longer be treated 81 a
mere project and some acquaintance
with its history and the general
principals of It's construction will be
desired by educated persons.
